Noroxi assessment

Priority: This week (action score 60/100)

  • A ready-made attack module is public (Metasploit); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
  • A ready-made attack tool exists and the flaw can be exploited over the network without an account, so priority is at least “This week”.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 48.5% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 98.8% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: github.com/juju/juju (Go) 0.0.0-20170524231039-0417178a3c28; govulncheck-vulndb (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 0.0.20250424T181457-1.1.

Don’t wait for the next maintenance window. Upgrade to github.com/juju/juju (Go) 0.0.0-20170524231039-0417178a3c28; govulncheck-vulndb (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 0.0.20250424T181457-1.1 or later.
